Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effects of game-based electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback therapy on the quality of life and sleep quality of individuals diagnosed with dyssynergic defecation.

Conditions

  • Defecation Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Game-Based Electromyographic (EMG) Biofeedback Therapy

Game-based biofeedback integrates real-time visual feedback with interactive tasks, allowing patients to actively control on-screen elements through appropriate muscle activation and relaxation. This approach supports motor learning principles, promotes neuromuscular adaptation, and may improve treatment compliance.

DEVICE

Sham Control

Sham EMG biofeedback therapy will be administered alongside the same standard pelvic floor rehabilitation program with identical session frequency and duration. Surface electrodes will be placed in the same anatomical locations; however, the biofeedback device will operate in demo mode, and visual feedback will not reflect actual muscle activity.
